Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is a remote volcanic island in Polynesia

Easter Island (Rapa Nui) 
A Chilean territory, it is known for archaeological sites including nearly 900 monumental statues called moai. 

These were created by inhabitants between the 13th and 16th centuries. 

The moai are carved human figures with oversize heads, often resting on massive stone pedestals called ahus. 

Ahu Tongariki has the largest group of upright moai. 

The Chilean government has announced that Rapa Nui is fully reopening to tourists from 1 August 2022.
